EGLINTON Park was awash with colour this weekend as it played host to the annual Ayrshire Hospice Colour Dash.

Runners put their best foot forward in the most colourful 5k race of the year. Participants ran, walked, hopped, skipped and danced their way around the picturesque route as they were pelted with a rainbow of paint on their route.

Before the big race kicked off the crowds were entertained by West FM before Irvine fitness guru Adrienne Thomson took to the stage to lead the charge in a mass-Zumba workout to help the runners get warmed up.

After the hard work was done participants were handed their medals and got tucked into a well-earned complimentary burger.
